Morning Yoga excercise according to system Yoga in Daily Life from Mahaprabhudeep Ashram, Strilky, Czech Republic.

Life is a journey beyond duality toward the oneness of the Self. Two primal energies exist: the divine power leading to liberation and the negative power. The true Self, the Ātmā, is immortal and beyond these dualities, karma, and the cycle of life and death. The individual soul, however, experiences this duality. To transcend it, one must balance the inner energies. The practice of yoga is this union. The body is governed by three qualities: purity, activity, and inertia. These are influenced by lifestyle and nourishment. We perceive through five senses of knowledge and act through five senses of action. Life force, or Prāṇa, flows through channels in the body. Harmonizing the lunar and solar channels through breath leads to balance. True Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques for inner health. Energy centers, or chakras, exist within the body, from the earthly base to the divine crown. Activating the highest center can lead to profound spiritual awakening. The soul's final exit reflects the quality of one's life and consciousness. "Dharma rakṣita rakṣitaha. If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you."

The aura is Śiva consciousness, a divine vibration entered through intention and spiritual gathering. Here, one becomes Śivamaya, where worldly problems vanish in the experience of the Self as bliss. Discernment in companionship is essential. Avoid those entangled in temporary, worldly conflicts and politics, for their influence is polluting. Do not accompany such people or listen to their voices. Sit only with the truly spiritual to remain in the light. Self-knowledge is paramount. Outside this space, old conflicts and questions return. The one who argues is foolish; a wise one knows without asking. Marriage is often a misconception, a fleeting fire. Seek the divine union within. A story illustrates discernment: a princess sought a husband who could answer all questions. A shepherd, though seeming simple, revealed profound wisdom on the unity of the five elements. True wisdom often comes from unexpected simplicity. "Here, you are called Śivamaya, and many problems disappear. At home, many conditions arise, but here they vanish." "A wise one will never put a question, because the wise are wise. Who puts the question? The ignorant, because they do not know." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A disciple's unwavering devotion is tested to its absolute limit. A boy seeks a spiritual teacher, pleading to renounce worldly life. The teacher accepts him but imposes severe austerity, providing no food and assigning only the care of cows. The boy endures, surviving on milk, then alms, then foam from calves, then leaves—each sustenance forbidden by the teacher. Other disciples protest this harsh treatment, but the teacher insists it is a necessary test. During a storm, the boy uses his own body to dam a water channel, lying in the cold flow overnight. Later, eating poisonous leaves blinds him, causing him to fall into a dry well. When the teacher finds him, the boy declares he will accept food only if given directly. At that moment, divine presence manifests. The narrative reveals the disciple's divine essence, demonstrating that such perfect surrender is exceedingly rare. The teacher's role is paramount, for it is the guide who enables the vision of the divine. "When the calf is drinking, a little foam comes out. That I eat." "Gurudev, I will not take it. Without you giving it to me, Gurudev, I will not take it." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The practice of yoga and light sustains us on the spiritual path. I traveled extensively during a clear period, witnessing the strength of practitioners who remained healthy despite widespread illness. The specific practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma has been crucial for health. I taught its techniques, which involve balancing vibration between the brain's hemispheres and directing it to the center of the head. This practice is powerful but must be learned precisely for at least one year before teaching others, performed only five times per session. Our path is one of many, all leading to the same goal, connected through the navel as a source. We must continue our daily sādhanā. Furthermore, we should observe prayers at sunrise and sunset, aligning with the light's cycle as illustrated by the story of a man seeing a temple light at dusk. "Many, many people who practiced exactly what I told you—this Brahmari Prāṇāyāma—were very healthy and good." "At least one year you should learn this exactly, and then give it further. Otherwise, you will make others, maybe not good, it will be in the body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Our words and gestures carry profound energy that shapes our spiritual reality. The way we speak and act directly influences our inner state and our path. An anecdote illustrates this: a man feared the yoga pose called Śavāsana, the corpse pose. After explaining there is no need to fear death, the pose was renamed Ānandāsana, the bliss pose. This shows the power of language. We do not "take" a mantra; we may "receive" it as a sacred gift, which creates a completely different, reverent attitude. Modern communication is becoming impoverished, losing fine emotion and respect. How we address others matters deeply; calling someone "Devī" (goddess) evokes a different energy than crude language. Our physical gestures are equally important. Serving food with a disrespectful hand or attitude poisons the offering, regardless of its physical purity. The value we assign to spiritual objects, like a mālā, determines the benefit we receive from them. Respect is not about slowness but about conscious, loving energy in every action and word. "After that, Swāmījī changed it; it is no longer Śavāsana or Mṛtāsana, but Ānandāsana." "You get from everything only as much as you respect it, or how much you value it."

The simplicity of spiritual practice lies in daily remembrance and conscious living. Historically, people across faiths integrated prayer into daily life, like family meals. Now, such observance has declined, correlating with modern negativity. Dietary choices reflect this shift; some move away from traditional vegetarianism, while others adopt veganism from compassion for animals. Health requires mindful eating and periodic fasting, not constant consumption. Simple morning affirmations ground us: acknowledge your humanity, honor Mother Earth, and revere water as life. Modern challenges like pollution and industrial agriculture show our disconnection from these elements. Returning to conscious basics fosters well-being. "First, when we open our eyes, then tell, 'I am human.'" "Water is life... Water is God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner light and the practice of Trāṭaka reveal the soul's journey. The soul enters the body from cosmic energies, like water cycling between ocean and rain. It arrives through the navel, the seat of the jīva and inner light. All living beings, from animals to seeds, possess this inner sight guiding their growth. Trāṭaka is this concentrated gazing, where the inner eyes open. A story illustrates this: a guru's astral body saved a devotee at sea. To return to his physical body, the disciple focused on the navel, the nābhi, demonstrating the power of inner focus. The practice is about surrendering the ego to perceive the universal soul within all. "One in all and all in one. Even the green grass, even any trees, bushes, all creatures—everyone has eyes, and they are all looking with their light toward their destination." "My inner eyes should open, and when they open, that is the other one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Prayāgarāj is the king of holy places, where the Kumbh Melā is held. According to myth, it is where the nectar fell and three rivers, including the underground Sarasvatī, meet. The major festival occurs on a sacred constellation. While a melā happens annually, the sādhus recognize a major Pūrṇa Kumbha every four years. Millions attend to bathe, believing sins are washed away, and to discuss spiritual and societal governance. A system was established last century by the monastic akhāṛās. Following the tradition of the Śaṅkarācāryas, they created the title Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara. This honourable role is for caretaking—to solve problems and provide for sannyāsīs and ashrams. However, a committee with a constitution holds the authority. This committee selects one Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara to serve as the presiding Ācārya. All decisions are made by the committee. "Everyone knows the precise day, which we call Makar Saṅkrānti, when the sun begins moving north." "Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara is not a dominator but a caretaker who solves problems and provides assistance."

The soul enters a body, which is surrounded by five sheaths. The physical Annamaya Kośa is made from earth, water, fire, air, and space. All creatures contain the same life force, or jīva. Life operates in a cycle where one life consumes another; this is driven by an inner fire, like hunger. This cycle is often seen as sin or adharma. The ethical path is to avoid harming others, not to retaliate, and to practice forgiveness. Ultimately, concepts like heaven and hell are merely different realms of existence. The five sheaths—Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya—envelop the self. Moving beyond them leads to an unknown path. The goal is to return to the singular, formless divine source from which all beings originate. "Life will kill life. But who and how? So another part of God said, I will give you. What? Fire. What is that fire? In the stomach, that is hunger." "If someone is angry or something, and he will give you a slap on your face, then don’t give back, but tell the other side, 'Please, if you want, you can have also from here.'"

Yoga is the science of life, meant for daily practice. The system "Yoga in Daily Life" was developed to provide a consistent method. True yoga is a single path with several aspects. Karma Yoga is selfless service, purifying through action. Haṭha Yoga is not the common postures but the six purification techniques: Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī, Trāṭaka, and Kapālabhāti. Rāja Yoga is the eightfold path of discipline leading to meditation. Jñāna Yoga is the path of knowledge. Beyond these lies the knowledge of Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, the hidden spiritual power within. The human body is part of nature and responds best to natural practices. Health is the true wealth, and daily practice is essential. One must make time, ideally in the early morning, to establish this vital habit for a harmonious and healthy life. "Yoga in Daily Life means... if you have no time for yoga, then also don't eat." "Haṭha Yoga is the purification, and this is purification of the body." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

This is a gentle yoga sequence for menstrual well-being. We begin with relaxation and full yogic breath to harmonize body and mind. Specific postures target the pelvic area and lower back. The first exercise involves bringing one knee to the chest, then extending the leg, performed slowly and consciously. This is followed by Marjari, the cat pose, to create a supple back. We then practice hip-opening postures like the half and full butterfly. A key squatting pose is emphasized for menstrual issues, grounding, and leg strength. We proceed to Setu Āsana, the bridge, to strengthen the lower body. A final side-lying balance pose benefits the lower abdomen. Conclude by feeling the effects of the practice. "This exercise is especially good for menstrual problems, and also beneficial for the lower back, constipation, and hips." "This pose is especially good for women... for irregular menstruation, or for heavy bleeding between periods."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan, Rajasthan, India. Nearly one-hour bhajan singing. Without prayers, meditation and singing bhajans humans life is not complete. When we are coming to the prayer we are in oneness again. In Satsang, we are in the truth. Do not continue with negative thinking. That one is lost.

Meditation is the practice of turning inward to answer life's fundamental questions and realize one's divine nature. Humans possess a higher purpose beyond basic animal functions. One must regularly ask: What does it mean to be human? What good qualities define humanity? What is my life's mission? Modern life often lacks this ethical education, leading to depression and aimlessness. Meditation provides answers, motivation, and a direct connection to the self. It reduces stress, recharges energy, and clarifies one's situation. The technique requires proper posture, a personal mantra, and a meditation shawl for protection and focus. By withdrawing the senses and observing the breath, one accesses inner peace and cosmic energy. "Meditation is an answer to thyself. All thy questions, the meditation will give the answers." "Meditation is a way to thyself, means to God. It doesn’t matter which God you believe... Only one thing remains: divine love." Filming location: Bratislava, Slovakia

Devotion manifests through repetitive praise and ecstatic song. The core practice is the invocation of divine names and gurus. This chanting is a phonetic rendering of a live devotional session. Its repetitive phrases are musical refrains, not discursive arguments. The varying epithets for deities are typical of invocation. The text is a record of spiritual expression, not logical exposition. Its primary function is celebratory praise. The content is an aural and devotional experience.

God incarnates through specific situations (Nimitta) and through the eternal senses (Nityāvatāra). We are in Kali Yuga, a dark age where spiritual values decline. Long ago, the demon king Hiraṇyakaśipu performed severe austerities to gain a boon making him nearly invincible. He declared himself the only god and demanded worship. However, his young son Prahlāda was a pure devotee, constantly chanting the divine name "Hari Om Tatsat." The king tried repeatedly to kill Prahlāda: through his fire-immune sister Holi, who burned instead; by throwing him to crocodiles, elephants, and off a cliff. Each time, divine protection saved the boy. Finally, the enraged king challenged Prahlāda to embrace a red-hot iron pillar, demanding he renounce God or prove God's existence. As Prahlāda moved to hug the pillar, it burst open, and the divine form of Narasiṁha, half-man and half-lion, emerged. This avatāra killed Hiraṇyakaśipu at twilight in a doorway, using no weapon, thus fulfilling the conditions of the boon and saving His devotee. "Repeat and repeat the name of God. That is a mahāmantra, the best mantra, the great mantra." "Whom God saves, no one can kill. Not even one hair can be damaged if God is the protector." Filming location: USA

The nature of practice is to inquire into what you are not, to discover the Self. We perform many actions and yoga postures, naming animals and forms, but you are not that movement or those names. You are not the body practicing. We identify with elements like water, necessary for life, yet you are not that either. We live within a body and a world, like passengers in an aeroplane, but this too is not you. Life appears and disappears, and we question where the prāṇa goes. We speak of God but have not seen God. The ultimate reality is described as light, yet even that description falls away into nothingness. The practice is to see that all these appearances—the body, the world, the elements—are not you. The true state is a oneness beyond all forms and descriptions, where there is no separation. Be with this inquiry. "All that is moving is not you; it is that." "There is no light also, it’s going dead." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Two paths define human life: the worldly path of material progress and the spiritual path of conscious living. The worldly path, like that of medicine, is good but ultimately leads to an end without deeper life or meditation. The spiritual path is everything; it is our daily actions, thoughts, and relationships. We must think of our children and family unity, not separation. A story illustrates this: a couple, from their school days through fifty years of marriage, harbored a silent grievance over who received the soft part of the bread, never communicating their true feelings. This shows how small, unspoken things can define a life. The spiritual solution is a personal mantra, given now, which will stay with you forever. This path requires discipline: no meat, essentially no alcohol. Life is a choice. One who lives spiritually ascends; one who lives otherwise, consuming other creatures, goes back. These are the two things. "Spiritual human life is everything." "One will go up, and the other will go again, go back." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria
